Why Putin went to Ukraine: Seleznev gave two reasons

Putin visited Kherson region for two reasons

The head of the aggressor country of Russia Vladimir Putin visited the occupied region of the Kherson region for two reasons. One is a travesty of the actions of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Nevertheless, the degree of risk to which the head of the Ukrainian state exposed himself by visiting Bakhmut is incomparable with what the Kremlin dictator risked. This opinion was expressed in an exclusive interview with OBOZREVATEL by military expert Vladislav Seleznev.

"What was the purpose of Putin's visit to the Kherson region? First of all, this is a travesty of the actions of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But there is a serious difference between the actions of Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky," the expert noted.

"Putin was in the village of Shchaslivtsevo, from which in a straight line 130 kilometers to the line of hostilities. Zelensky was 3 kilometers from the line of contact. That is, the degree of risk and, accordingly, the degree of motivation of the two presidents is radically different," he stressed.

According to Seleznev's estimates, the Kremlin head made the trip to Ukraine for two reasons. In addition to repeating President Zelensky's gesture, he also tried to motivate Russian society to participate more actively in the "partial" mobilization he had announced.

"They say that if the president, the commander-in-chief, goes to the front, respectively, the rest of the citizens of the Russian Federation must go to the front and die there. It is not clear for what purposes, except for Vladimir Putin's intimate desires, but nevertheless, such a story will work for the realization of his ambitions to occupy the entire territory of Ukraine," the expert noted.

As OBOZREVATEL wrote, April 18 allegedly Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the occupied Kherson region. Kremlin propagandists released a topical video. However, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, said that in fact the footage might not show Putin, but his double.
